Well, my blog is up and running, and I've organized my past videos from YouTube- keeping the ones that are still relevant, and converting them to audio/podcast. Every day I'm uploading one to my blog: http://www.wargamerfritz.com .

I'm also close to having an embedded player that will allow you to select tags or a topic and see play/save all the podcasts.

Once that is done (soon) I feel like at least my stuff is not vulnerable like it was on YouTube- next step? Perhaps bundling them into a mega podcast and putting them up somewhere else?

I'm planning on adding a few Primaris dudes to my Red Templar SM chapter- is there a different feel to painting them since they are a bit bigger? Easier to paint? Not that Space Marines are overly hard to paint.

VERY happy to see this model back in play. Games Workshop has done a great job bringing back many of these models. Iím glad I can use it as a Ďsinger and not as a count as farseer. Iím curious about the healing, which will be interesting in a fun list- I canít see the Bonesinger in a stripped down comp list. Will be a nice character to work with my six wraithlords.

Funny how most of the units across all the armies got a boost in the new 8th edition stat changes, but I feel like as a Saim-Hann player jetbikes and vypers were targeted and got made worse armor saves, loss of jink, etc. simply as a knee-jerk reaction because in the last codex they were so over powered and beardy.

They went from so-so in 4th-6th edition, to pumped in 7th, and now worse vs. any incarnation of the game.

I'm hoping that some love comes to the Saim-hann with some HQ choices or unit specific powers that can give us some new tactical twists.

I'm going to continue with my podcasts and get back in the game by streaming them/allowing downloads at my blog HERE: http://www.wargamerfritz.com

I'm using the implosing of my YouTube channel to remaster a ton of stuff, finally build an archive and search of my stuff directly, and let my viewers contact and post directly. Back end stuff is up and running, I'm going to start recording my podcasts this weekend, and the first new post- 40K of course is going to be on Monday 9/18.

Thanks for all of your support, it was KEY in getting me motivated to re-launch and look at this as a chance to not only start new, but do all the great suggestions that you guys have all had over the years.

If you have a blog/youTube channel or know some friends that used to listen to me on YouTube, I'd appreciate it if you would let them know about my new home, and the 'casts moving forward since I can't post on YouTube and have lost all my YT subscribers to contact.

I would agree with the rules and the Dark Imperium starter set for the Space Marines. If you are coming back after a long break from Space Marines, not only has so much in the game changed (for the better), but it is very clear that GW is going to push primaris as the new SM flavor. Current marine players have to figure out how to combine or update their armies, new players and those coming back to the game are free to jump right in and in my opinion go all primaris.

Not that I would want to see a return to herohammer, and some would say we are already back, but I would love to see GW put out primarch and primarch-chaos-daemon prince models. Would be amazing to have the choice to play these guys on the table.

Of course the challenge is what do they represent in the game.

Back in the older Necron codex, when the REAL rulers of the Necrons were the C'Tan you could play the two of them on the table. The problem was with resolving the in-game effects with the narrative. Here was a model that defeated the Old Ones and smashed their web way tech, that you could play on the table, but could be killed by almost any unit. GW could not resolve the narrative power vs. the game power. With that regard while I was never happy with the Necron codex rewrite, making the C'Tan "shards" and only a shell of their power was a good move.

If we play a tabletop game where in the books a dozen space marines can subdue a world vs. in game my chaos cultists with pop pistols can take them out, how are you going to balance primarchs on the table?

That said, I want them.

Luthor the prophet is correct, the Lion is healing and will soon return!
